After He Yuehua and Liu Feiyang determined their vacation dates at the First Hospital and the Research Institute respectively, Chen Yuanyuan began to make arrangements for their travels.
First of all, let's settle Grandma He's affairs so that He Yuehua can travel without any worries.
[Chen Yuanyuan: Jiamei, are you free from 26 to 31 this month? 】
[Zheng Jiamei: There is a dinner party on the 28th. What’s wrong? 】
[Chen Yuanyuan: We are going on a long trip, and Grandma He is the only one at home. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to come and stay for a few days and help check on her]
[Zheng Jiamei: Yes, food and accommodation are included? Ha ha】
[Chen Yuanyuan: That’s necessary. Let grandma feed you to gain ten pounds.]
[Zheng Jiamei: Haha, no problem, I can just take advantage of these few days to get my own room]
[Chen Yuanyuan: Then grandma will leave it to you]
Then Chen Yuanyuan also sent a message to Locke, and he readily agreed to buy groceries for Grandma He in the next few days.
After contacting Locke and Zheng Jiamei to take care of Grandma He, Chen Yuanyuan began to plan the route and prepare travel supplies.
After Chen Yuanyuan took out the tablet that recorded the world map from the space, she printed out four copies of the topographic map and image map of the mountain range.
This trip is different from usual. The road can only reach the foot of the mountain, and then we have to walk along the hiking trail to the mountainside.
Chen Yuanyuan marked the destination—a storage room in the mountains—with a pen on the map, and then marked some safer places to camp.
A rough calculation showed that it would take about twenty-five kilometers of deserted roads.
Although twenty-five kilometers is not too far, it is an uncultivated mountain road, and there is a section of the road that is particularly dangerous. You have to walk close to the mountain wall for less than thirty centimeters.
Even if you finally reach your destination, you still have to descend ten meters on the cliff to reach the cave entrance.
I remember that one time Chen Yuanyuan's descent rope broke, and she carefully pulled the remaining one to climb back to the cliff. That's why she didn't dare to be a lone ranger on this trip.
However, even without sophisticated equipment in her previous life, Chen Yuanyuan was able to take risks and move supplies like ants moving. I believe there won't be much of a problem before setting off in this life when she is fully prepared.
Chen Yuanyuan took out the tablet used to record materials and wilderness survival skills, and wrote down some necessary equipment.
Emergency food, whistles, carabiners, safety belts, ascenders, warm hats, professional mountaineering helmets, auxiliary ropes, but there are a lot of climbing supplies.
After Chen Yuanyuan made a list of supplies, she prepared a set of winter climbing equipment and backpacks for each person.
Although Chen Yuanyuan has space at hand, she is also worried about unexpected situations and wants them to bring as much preparation as possible.
On the last day before departure, Chen Yuanyuan put away some food, medicine, spare electricity and other supplies in advance, and told Grandma He not to go too far, not to areas open to the outside world or outside the city.
After dinner, Chen Yuanyuan took out the map and distributed it to everyone, and explained the route, midway points and destination.
"I'm so looking forward to it, it's like going on an outing!" Zhang Linlin said.
"Don't think too simply. This is just a route I drew based on my impressions. Moreover, it has been snowing for so long, so I don't know if there are any changes along the way." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Then you have to have a good rest tonight and recharge your batteries to set off tomorrow!" He Yuehua said.
After several people brought their hiking clothes and backpacks back to the room, they packed up their personal belongings.
Chen Yuanyuan didn't have anything to take, so she called Shen Yichen before leaving to inform her of the upcoming itinerary and then hung up.
Before leaving, Chen Yuanyuan also went to the space to
Early the next morning, everyone got ready and went out.
"Grandma He, the three of us have transferred points to you, and we have tens of thousands of points saved in our joint account. If you want to buy anything, just spend it, don't worry about the points." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Okay, don't worry, take good care of yourself when you go out." Grandma He brought a plastic bag to Liu Feiyang to carry.
"Ah? What is this?" Liu Feiyang asked.
"The scallion pancakes I made for you this morning can be eaten after baking." Grandma He said.
After several people stepped out of Villa No. 38, they walked directly outside the villa without turning on the battery. Chen Yuanyuan booked a car last night, and the driver of the sightseeing car was already waiting outside the villa in advance.
Since the opening of the base, the occupancy rate has reached 90%. The number of sightseeing cars that were originally publicly rented was limited, and some people occupied them for a long time, so a new policy was formulated and became like taxis.
After the driver sent the four people to the vehicle management office, the four people drove out the RV and off-road vehicle.
Liu Feiyang and Zhang Linlin drove SUVs, while Chen Yuanyuan and He Yuehua drove RVs.
"Let's go to the gas station to refuel." Chen Yuanyuan said through the intercom.
"Ah? Base oil is so expensive," Zhang Linlin said.
Since the population surge, the original 15 points for a liter of oil has skyrocketed to 35 points, which is almost worth a pound of meat.
"It won't be too expensive when all the savings are used up in the future." Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
Zhang Linlin didn't know how much fuel Chen Yuanyuan had asked someone to save, so she drove to the gas station next to the DMV to refuel.
The fuel tanks of the two vehicles are also quite large. In addition, after the off-road vehicle arrived at the base, it was modified by someone again and an auxiliary fuel tank was added. It cost a lot to fill the two vehicles with fuel.
Once off base, the SUV leads from the front and the RV follows from the rear.
Although he had a map in hand, Chen Yuanyuan still had a poor sense of direction, so the job of leading the way was left to Liu Feiyang.
After the two vehicles drove about ten kilometers away from the base, Chen Yuanyuan and Zhang Linlin also set off to sit in the off-road vehicle and recover the RV into its space.
"This smells too good. Give me a bite." Liu Feiyang drove the car while smelling the three women eating scallion pancakes in silence.
"Try it, it should be added with lard, it's very fragrant." Zhang Linlin took a bite and stuffed it into Liu Feiyang's mouth.
"Turn around, let's go back to the base, and we still eat dog food when we go out!" He Yuehua said.
"Come on Huahua, I'll feed you too!" Zhang Linlin took a bite and handed it to He Yuehua.
"Get lost!" He Yuehua said.
A few people were laughing and joking in the car, and it was quite relaxing along the way. We arrived at the foot of the mountain around noon.
"Let's find a place to eat first?" Zhang Linlin asked.
"You haven't stopped talking all the way, why are you still hungry?" He Yuehua said with a smile.
"Those are just appetizers," Zhang Linlin said.
"Two scallion pancakes, three packs of snow pancakes, a pack of cheese-flavored potato chips, a pack of shrimp crackers, a cup of pearl milk tea, and an egg tart." Chen Yuanyuan immediately counted what she had just brought to Zhang Linlin.
"Ah ah ah, stop talking! Let me go! It's obviously you who fed me!" Zhang Linlin said awkwardly.
"You are full, but I am so hungry that my chest touches my back." Liu Feiyang said with a smile.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yuanyuan moved the RV out, and several people went to the car to have a sumptuous lunch.
